Pecan Free Mint Citrus Infused Water
Bright, refreshing, and endlessly sippable, this infused water is the kind of drink that makes plain hydration feel like a genuine treat. Fresh lemon and orange rounds steep alongside mint leaves, slowly releasing their natural oils and juice into the cold water until every glass tastes clean and lightly citrusy. The trick of gently pressing the mint — just enough to coax out the oils without bruising the leaves — keeps the flavor bright rather than grassy or overpowering. After an hour in the fridge, the water takes on a soft golden hue and a fragrance that's genuinely hard to resist. It's a naturally tree-nut-free drink with zero hidden ingredients to second-guess, since everything in the pitcher is exactly what it looks like. Just remember to discard the fruit and mint after eight hours so the citrus pith doesn't turn things bitter — fresh batches are quick enough to make that it's never a hardship.
